GLOBE-HOLDER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 777,23 1, datedDecember 13, 1904. Application filed June 17, 1904. Serial No. 213,010.(No model.)

T (1,, whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that we, FRANK A. WERNSING, residing at Bellevue, in thecounty of Campbell, and JOSEPH STUBBERs, residing at Covington, in thecounty of Kenton, State of Kentucky, citizens of the United States, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Globe-I-Iolders, ofwhich the following is a specification.

I Our invention relates to a globe-holder for a gas-burner; and it hasparticular reference to the means for attaching the holder to theburner, and, second, for attaching the globe to the holder.

I 5 The features of the invention are more fully set forth in thedescription of'the accompanying drawings, forming a part of thisspecification, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of our globe- 2holder attached in position and shown partly in section. Fig. 2 is asection on line m [3, Fig. l, of the burner with the holder shown inplan. Fig. 8 is a section on line w w, Fig. 2, with burner omitted andglobe attached.

1 represents the burner, from the bottom of which extends the projection2, a portion of which is substantially rectangular in crosssection,provided with the lugs 3, projecting laterally, upon which theglobe-holder seats 3 the projection 2. The projection is less incross-section than the bottom of the burner from which it extends, sothat the bottom of the burner around the projection 2 forms a shoulder.

'35 4 represents a globe-holder having a supporting-tray 5 and thesleeve 6. Sleeve 6 is provided with a central orifice 7 large enough togo over the projection 2. Sleeve 6 has the flanges 8, provided with thenotches 7, adapted to pass over the lugs 3. .(SeeFig. 2.) lVithin thesleeve 6, above the flanges 8 and parallel with the notches 7, are thesprings 10.

In attaching the holder the sleeve 6 is placed over the lower end of theprojection 2, with the lugs 3 and notches 7 in alinement. The

sleeve is then pushed over the projection '2 until the top of the sleeve6 comes to a hearing against the shoulder 22 and the lugs 3 come throughthe notches 7 and under the flanges 8. The holder is then given a slightturn, 5 which brings the flanges 8. above the lugs 3 and places thenotches 7 opposite the wider faces of the projection and at right anglesrelative to the lugs 3. The springs 10 are separated sufliciently tofreely pass the projection 2 when the lugs and notches are in alinemont;but the springs are separated a distance less the length of the diagonalline of the rectangular cross-section of the projection 2, and hencewhen the notches in the holder are turned at right angles to the lugsthe springs 10 are strained apart by and engage against the narrowerfaces of the projection 2, exerting suflicicnt tension thereon to holdthe sleeve in place on the burner pro- 5 jection 2.

In order to attach the globe to the tray 5 of the holder, we provide theclamps 11, which are inserted through the tray inside of the flange 12.The lower ends 13 of the clamps 7 are outwardly turned and provided withscrewthreaded orifices, through which engage the clamping-screws 14. Theupper ends of the clamps are shaped to conform to the interior surfaceof the globe. The globe 25 is placed. on the tray with the clamps 11inside. The screws 14 are tightened, their outer ends ongaging upwardlyagainst the lower surface of the tray 5, exerting a leverage on theclamps, which press the lower ends of the clamps inward and the upperends of the clamps outward, more or less yieldingly against the in norsurface of the globe, the clamps fulcruming against the tray at theorifices 16, through which they are inserted. Obviously this is a 5substantial means for holding the globe and does not subject the same toany positive impingement, such as a screw engaging with the globe.Further, it enables the use ofvarious sizes of globes, as any globecoming within 9 the radii of the clamps can be secured thereby.

The device is simple and cheap, convenient in use, and effective inoperation, and enables a convenient removal of the globe from the burnerbya slight turn of the holder and like wise as easily attached.

Having described our invention, we claim 1. In combination with aburner, a projection from the lower end thereof, a portion of which issubstantially rectangular in crosssection, having two sides ofless widththan the other two sides, lugs projected laterally from the narrowerfaces of the rectangular portion of said projection, a globe-holderhaving a sleeve, the upper portion of which seats against the lower endof the burner, the lower portion of the sleeve being provided withnotched flanges adapted to pass over the burner projection, and abovesaid lugs when the notches are alined therewith, and to interlockagainst the under surfaces of the flanges when the holder is turned tobring the notches at right angles to the lugs, and a spring in thesleeve adapted to engage against the projection in said position,substantially as described.

2. In combination with a burner, a projection from the lower endthereof, a portion of which is substantially rectangular incrosssection, having two sides of less width than the other two sides,lugs projecting laterally from the narrower faces of the rectangularportion of said projection, the lower end of the burner forming ashoulder above and around the said burner projection, a globe-holderhaving a central sleeve, the upper portion of which seats against saidshoulder, the lower portion of the sleeve being provided with flangesand notches adapted to pass over the projection and above the lugsthereof when the lugs and notches are placed in alinement, the interiorof the sleeve being provided with two springs substantially parallelwith the notches of the sleeves, the said springs being separated adistance less than the diagonal line of the rectangular cross section ofsaid projection, whereby when the sleeve is placed on the projectionabove the lugs, and given a turn, the flanges will interlock with theupper surfaces of the lugs, and the narrower faces of the saidprojection will frictionally engage between the said springs, retainingthe holder in place under tension, substantially as described.

3. In combination with a burner and globeholder having asupporting-tray, with an outer peripheral flange, clampsinserted-through the tray inside of the flange, having the upper endsbent to conform to the interior surface of the globe to be held, thelower ends of the said clamps under the tray, being outwardly bent, andprovided with screw-threaded oriflees, screws taking into said orificesand having their upper ends engaging against the under surface of thetray, whereby when said screws are tightened the upper ends of saidclamps are expanded, substantially as described.

i. In combination with a burner and globeholder having asupporting-tray, with an outer peripheral flange, clamps insertedthrough the tray inside of the flange, the opposite ends of the clampsbeing bent outwardly from the orifices in the tray through which theyare inserted, the upper ends of the clamps being shaped to conform tothe inner surface of the globe, the lower ends of the clamps below thetray being provided with screw-threaded oriiices, clamping-screwsengaging upwardly through said orifices and bearing against the undersurface of the tray whereby when the said screws are tightened, theupper ends of said clamps will be expanded, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof we have hereunto set our hands.
